RECOVER released a paper playing into gaslighting & myths of disability fraud, promoting misleading “scoring” prioritizing #LongCOVID symptoms less common in other conditions - like loss of taste/smell - over those most common in LC itself…
This is repeating bad history: many were harmed and even killed by an #AIDS definition that excluded symptoms common in women and drug users. Diagnostic gatekeeping weaponizes our medical records, fuels care and treatment restrictions, sets patients against one another…
We need biomarkers for #LongCOVID but remember they likely won’t be perfect and will also expose those who don’t fit the profile - biomarkers are tricky in many complex chronic conditions that present in such diverse ways….
1/10 Happy Red Day! 🔴 Hygiene during menstruation 
2/10 Not all mothers can explain to their daughters the rules to follow and how to take care of themselves during menstruation, but it's very important! There are several essential principles to observe during menstruation:

Oggi #25aprile si festeggia la #Liberazione dal regime fascista e dall’occupazione nazista (inevitabile dopo il “tradimento” italiano dell’8 settembre).
Questa LIBERAZIONE purtroppo coincide con l’OCCUPAZIONE del nostro paese da parte degli #USA, occupazione ancora in essere.

"And the Band Played On" by Randy Shilts documents the silencing of AIDS patients and doctors by government bureaucrats, including Fauci. It is eerily similar to today's response to COVID, early treatment and COVID vaxx-injured. #TheyKnew

"It’s been at least a year since @Stanford PASC clinic began prescribing LDN for some of their #LongCovid patients.. 'For some it has really changed their lives, & even if that’s a few people, that’s encouraging sign that needs to be investigated further'" rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
"Since there’s little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to invest resources into LDN, some experts, including Geng, believe that the best chance of large-scale randomized control trials taking place in the United States is with federal dollars." #LongCovid
“It would be great if the @NIH could fund randomized controlled trials, because that would really give [the drug] a boost in credibility and rigor and reputation behind a scientific study in this area.” — Linda Geng, MD, PhD, co-director of the @Stanford #LongCovid Clinic
AIDS is not over. As @USAmbPEPFAR has said: Africa remains the continent with the highest burden. More people probably died of #AIDS-related illnesses in 2021 than COVID on this continent.

Just 30 years ago the Daily Mail was discussing the extermination of homosexuality as a ‘hope’.

Me in 1993.
At the time the age of consent for gay men was 21, we could not marry or serve in the army and Section 28, banning the ‘promotion of homosexuality’, was in force.
Our communities were bludgeoned by homophobia and #AIDS for which then there was no effective treatment.

The parallels between the media treatment of gay men (in particular) in the late 80s / 90s and trans people now are obvious and chilling.

Seit mehreren Jahrzehnten haben Wissenschaftler Störungen in den Körpern von Personen mit postinfektiösen Erkrankungen gefunden. Die spezifischen Signalwege sind zu zahlreich, um sie hier umfassend aufzulisten.
Studien zeigen, dass sie eine geschwächte Immunantwort aufgrund niedriger Konzentrationen virusbekämpfender natürlicher Killerzellen und eine verstärkte Entzündung umfassen, die durch erhöhte Konzentrationen von Signalchemikalien, den sogenannten Zytokinen, verursacht wird.
#Moderna is quadrupling the cost of #covid #vaccines, from $26/dose to $110-130. CEO Stephane Bancel calls the price hike "consistent with the value" of the #MRNA vaccines. Moderna's costs are $2.85/dose, for a 4,460% markup on every dose:

In order to understand the world around us as the truth about it is emerging from a 100+ year slumber, it’s going to be important to challenge ideas that have absolutely zero basis in reality.

When you look back at the history of #HIV and #AIDS it took a massive publicity campaign & years to bring the public to the understanding that things had changed, that wearing a condom was now a habit they needed to adopt so they wouldn't get and spread a lethal infection.
And it was a different time, when people's media consumption was limited to TV, movies and print, most of which did not want to acknowledge the scale of the problem let alone promote a change to the status quo.
A lot of people suffered and died tragic, horrible, needless deaths

The scars from that era are still felt to this day. It took decades for an effective treatment to be developed, and in the beginning the attitudes from those in authority ranged from blasé to outright contempt and celebration at people's suffering.
#Riboflavin (#vitamin B2) versus #covid19?
A series of molecular docking studies (modeling of biological actions by computer) indicate that plain old cheap old perfectly-safe old RIBOFLAVIN inhibits critical #SARS_CoV2 #proteases -- thus acting as potential #antiviral compound.

By analogy: viral protease inhibitors are the basis of anti-#HIV #ART (anti-retroviral therapy) - drugs used widely to maintain disease-free, #AIDS-free life, albeit at a cost: $25-50K per year. Plus headache, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and a dozen other crappy side effects.
Riboflavin, if it proves to be effective in humans, or even if it doesn't, would cost perhaps $25 (twenty five, not 25 thousand) per year, with no headaches, nausea or the rest of that rot. Just so you know.

Per chi ha fretta rispondiamo subito, entrambi gli argomenti usati come una clava (come direbbe il mio amico @StefanoBerto83) sono da buttare e non hanno nulla di scientifico, ma contribuiscono ad una polarizzazione ormai insopportabile.

Queste due teorie (usate come clava) rappresentano i due schieramenti attuali: da un lato i minimizzatori del "è finita, e le misure contro Covid19 ci stanno ancora rovinando la vita" vs "Covid non è finito anzi, vedremo i veri effetti tra anni!"

Just read the @NYMag piece about #longcovid and I've got a lot of critiques of it - as a journalist, as an editor, &, of course, as a person living with complex chronic illness. Briefly, here are some of the issues I see, ones I think turn up in a lot of magazine pieces:🧵
First, the piece conflates patients with #longCOVID and #POTS who might be helped by exercise rehab (done right--itself hard to find) with those who will be harmed by exercise. There are different groups. Important to make fine distinctions as a science writer.
I am a patient with #longcovid and #pots who has benefitted from exercise, but for the first months of #longcovid my dysautonomia was so bad that exercise led to days-long crashes. This is not complicated to grasp/understand/message--backed up by research; see @PutrinoLab etc.
